Fundraising Auctions

Adding a sports memorabilia auction to your fundraising event is one of the most powerful ways to engage your guests and raise meaningful revenue for your organization. Sports and entertainment auctions—especially those featuring authentic memorabilia—create an instant emotional connection. Many honorees, supporters, alumni, and attendees have personal ties to sports, whether recreational or professional. Their passion drives them to bid generously, knowing they’re supporting a cause they care about.

At Cardboard Memories, we meet this demand with an extensive selection of 100% authentic sports and entertainment memorabilia, carefully curated to elevate your event. Every autographed item comes with a Certificate of Authenticity, ensuring your bidders can buy with complete confidence.

Terms & Agreements

At Cardboard Memories Sports Memorabilia Auctions and Fundraisers, our main objective is to raise money for you!! Unlike many companies, we do not take a percentage of the sales. Everything at Cardboard Memories is done up front.

The way it works is as follows:

  1. All sports memorabilia items are on consignment, so there is no risk.
  2. A Cardboard Memories representative will personally oversee each and every event.
  3. Example: Item X costs the charity $150. Charity starts the silent bid at $200. Three scenarios can occur.

  • A. Item gets no bid, and is returned at no cost to the organization.
  • B. Item gets minimum bid of $200 and charity makes a $50 profit.
  • C. Item gets bid up, for example, to $700 and the charity would clear a $550 profit.
